We don’t eat out a lot, but one of our family’s favorite places to eat out is Moe’s.
Here’s why!
– it’s fast (your food is made to your specifications while you watch)
– it’s kid-friendly (our girls love it)
– it’s healthy-ish (grass-fed beef, antibiotic-free chicken, whole wheat tortillas, in-house made sour cream and salsa, fresh ingredients, etc.)
– they have unlimited chips and salsa (sooo good!)
– our whole family (2 adults and 2 toddlers) can eat there for $8.53 (!)
The burritos are enormous, so Tad and I usually split the Joey Bag of Donuts Chicken Burrito ($6.49)*, and the girls split a Moo Moo Chicken Burrito (a la carte, without the drink and cookie, $1.50). We all drink water, and with the unlimited tortilla chips and salsa, we are all satisfied! With tax, our total (for 4!) is just $8.53!
*On a certain day of the week (varies by store), the Joey is only $5.55 and includes a drink!
Moe’s also has a birthday club which sends you (via email) a free burrito on your birthday! Last year on Tad’s birthday, we ate for under $2 since we just paid for the girls’ meal!
What is your family’s favorite cheap restaurant?

Oh! How we miss Moes! We moved to small town USA a year ago and our new town does NOT have a Moes…. and no Moes within 2 hrs! We use to eat there weekly and you are right! A family can get out of there eating cheap! cheap! Back home, they had a kids eat free night too. Definitely saved some money as well! Its always one place that we KNOW our family (of 6) can eat out for less than $20! And like you said, its health-ish!

We love Moe’s too…we don’t have one in town but when we are in a town that has one we like to eat there…definitely for our birthdays. We also like to eat at Cici’s…although now that Gideon is 4 he will cost. Cook Out is another really cheap one for us…for $5 you get an entree and two sides and a drink. And the sides include a quesidilla, corn dog, etc.
